When listening to music, images come to mind. (I rarely hear sounds when I see images.)

However… there are exceptions.
Of which the works shown in this exhibition are an example.

I am still looking for an accurate name for what I do.
It is something in between a specific indecision, and an inconspicuous precision.

The instruments of the imaginary quintet must have a place in space.
When arranged correctly, this will benefit the interplay without losing the individual sound of each instrument.
Musical ensembles are seated close together during concerts, they form a semicircle while facing each other.
The sounds then meet in the center, before heading out into the room collectively.

These musicians have different ages, but the music is not bothered by this.
Their instruments are not compared; their individuality is too pronounced for that to happen.
Maybe they know each other, maybe not.
The ad hoc-ensemble can only as such give the best of itself.

Some players focus more generally on sound and music than others.
One musician can play multiple instruments, another only one.
But how rare or pervasive their affinity with music may be, in this group no such distinction is made.

Some instruments are more than ten years old, others are newly made. Besides sound, the pause is equally important.

A silence.
For vocalists and players of wind instruments the ideal moment to breathe. For strings to relax their wrists.
To rest the fingers before moving on to the next chord.

And to watch. And wait.

To begin. To finish.
